Mbemba is going to be a class PL CB, he's hit the ground running and has an excellent tackle and recovery speed. He's also really good on the ball and his passing is actually really one of his strengths. Dude ain't 20-21 though, that's for damn sure.

He has to start...quite frankly I would start him over Thauvin and Aarons. If he was to get a central spot with Colback injured, then I'd say bring on Thauvin wide right and Gini wide left and have Anita and Moussa central if we keep the same 4-4-1-1 system.

They should upgrade him permanently IMO.

Why should they? It's a 17 year old signed for the u-18s ffs. Maybe at the end of a window or every few weeks you make a quick little statement that you've signed XYZ for a 2-3 year deal? The fuck is wrong with that?

didn't even announce it.

holy shit that card

Pardewtastic. Should be 102. In FIFA 14 or something I had wor Hatem in Messi-esque form on that right wing of ours.

They have the full southampton away match on youseph tube.

Man, when Dyer was full on fit and in his prime, he was sensational. That season he learned how to score () he was nearly unplayable. I always loved the fact that he was a player who had no real position, yet we could pair him with Speed and he'd come back deep pick up the ball from CBs and then carry it forward, quick 1-2 passes. Switch etc - but when we went on the counter and you had Dyer do his little classic stepover - which was (if he was on the right side) he'd use his right foot to step over and hit it with his left to set himself up for a cross....he'd get his man every time. I hated him towards the end, but at 1 point, he was one of my favorites... Southampton away

That's class. I used to do the Cantona collar, good to know kids can still enjoy the club in that way. From the Cantona collar to the original high sock master - Thierry Henry, used to do both when I played. Looked like a right cunt I bet but those who knew who I was trying to emulate respected it. Think that's class story Huss. If I was a father of a child who was playing and watching us I'd be proud to see my kid emulating Ayoze. His attitude and commitment is class.

Dyer was a far better player in his prime. One of the best carriers of the ball we've had. I think there is so much more to Sissoko's game that I wonder if he'll ever show or realize. He should be dominating matches.

100% agree. I like and liked it. Think it's hilarious. Can imagine them making Florian wear this like Mbemba did unintentionally and he's kept it on. Would be funny to see all new signings do that this season :

I've got a funny feeling that Thauvin did the same thing Mbemba did as a joke / was forced to as a joke etc.

What a brilliant gesture and offer

For me its Mitrovic's fight, desire and passion. Incredible. Love this guy. Watched the Chelsea match in full and he's all over the place, fighting every single second. We score he goes nuts, he's talking to everyone like he's the leader for christ's sake!

God damn it, I love Ben Arfa. Makes people write the above essay, the passion and excitement he brings to football...

I'm actually chuffed to see him playing brilliantly again. I absolutley love seeing him take the fucking piss out of defenders and such. It's stunning to watch.

Sooo I assume he starts versus City right? If he continues like this, surely he'd be in contention for the role over Haidara?

Agree with the 'Polic.

Will Mbabu play LB for the forseeable future?

The whole thing needs scrapping IMO

Very good read

Probably was a leading question

This club is absolutely dead to me at the moment. Firmly back in that stance.

Will be in Vegas, will be 930 AM. will be hungover as crap. I will somehow wake up and stream this fucking thing or throw it on the TV in my room.
